六、前列腺炎 Prostatitis

某男,58歲  初诊 2014.8

小便多年不利,感冒發燒後愈甚,嚴重時癃閉,點滴不出。近日小便短少、解便小腹部發熱、酸脹,一日數十次小便,且每次不超過50cc。夜裏小腹脹痛,不能尿出,直到放屁以後,才可解出。肛門亦有不適。前列腺部位時有隱痛。憋尿時間僅時數分鐘。

2003年2月、2009年12月,筆者曾2次治療過該患者急性尿瀦留,治愈後沒有後遺癥。

前列腺炎是個頑癥,因為這個部位一是藥物不容易滲入,另外,本為痰血瘀阻,一旦受到刺激,比如憋尿、性事,便容易充血,造成新的瘀滯。病情稍有緩解,原來的性功能就可能恢復,一有性刺激,立刻復發。但總歸痰血瘀阻於陰器。肝經環繞陰器,所以治療此病不能不考慮肝的問題。另外,此病容易和膀胱炎混淆。膀胱病變可能有小便不利,可能屬於上焦氣阻,當治以宣肺降氣,也可能膀胱蓄血證,治以活血化瘀;也可能是膀胱蓄水,當行氣泄水。還可能與尿道炎混淆,但彼多尿痛甚,有上焦心火,此則很少與心火有關的癥狀。

病機:下焦痰血瘀阻,肝氣郁結

治則:行肝軟堅、化痰軟堅,治以削法

此病針灸有效,只是部位隱諱,有的患者不願嘗試。該患者配合很好,凡有效的治法都能接受。

針、藥後2周,尿流開始變粗,酸脹感減輕,待尿時間大為縮短,尿前矢氣減輕,憋尿時間大大延長,可達數小時。一個月後,尿流接近正常的75%,小便已無不適。2014年底因沒有癥狀,放松警惕,性事頻繁,再次出現上述癥狀。幸好早有準備,適時而止,未釀成大病。

此次更有膽結石證一起出現,右肋下痛,B超查有1.9x1.2結石,B超顯示前列腺硬化,有B超檔。這正是中醫的治域。基本延續原來治則,更以軟堅消磨之劑,癥狀再次明顯緩解,45天後,膽結石已經化為2小塊,合並體積縮小約25%。  小便接近正常的70%,憋尿後,小便待尿時間縮短超過70%。後因外出,用藥不便,暫停醫治。

筆者認為,前列腺炎並非如西醫所說不可治愈,但卻屬難治之癥。但只要辯證得法,持之以恒,還是可以做到臨床治愈。但難的是色為天性,比固習更難以遏制。此病多犯好色之人,此為證。

Sensitive point. Thanks to the cooperation of the patient, I could do needles on perineum besides other point. About two weeks later, from dribbling to stream, time of holding urinate last much longer. A month later reached about 75% quantity of urination. Around end of 2014, due to decreased symptoms, the patient had sexual activities that triggered a severe distention of urination again. Repeated treatment. Luckily enough no more danger
